Residents in several provinces of Vietnam, including Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Thanh Hoa, have reported that their land use certificates, known as 'Sổ đỏ điện tử', are now visible on the VNeID application. This digital transformation is part of a broader initiative to modernize land management in the country.

In early August, a resident named Lam from Bac Ninh received a notification on her VNeID account indicating that her land use certificate required verification. After confirming the accuracy of the information, she was able to view both the digital version of her land certificate and a scanned copy of the physical document.

Another citizen from Xuan Phuong ward in Hanoi had a neighborhood leader visit his home to collect information regarding his land use certificate. After providing the necessary details, he signed a confirmation document stating that the information was correct. By August 10, he was able to see his land certificate displayed on the VNeID application.

Many individuals across Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Thanh Hoa have successfully accessed their land use certificates through VNeID. Users can log into their accounts, navigate to the search function, and select the option for 'Land Use Rights Certificate' to view their information.

According to a decision made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in February, the data regarding land use certificates in the national land database will be eligible for use in place of paper documents in administrative procedures. The shared information includes the name of the land user, the owner of the property attached to the land, identification numbers, and land parcel details such as area, land type, and usage duration.

By the end of 2025, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will collaborate on a campaign to enrich and standardize the national land database over a period of 90 days. The goal is to ensure that land information is accurate, complete, and regularly updated, thereby enhancing transparency and management efficiency.

Despite the progress, the integration of land use certificates into VNeID still faces challenges that require further research and refinement. While current regulations recognize electronic certificates as legally valid, there is a lack of specific guidelines for transitioning from paper to digital formats, especially for older records that may lack complete information.
